Sonic Rebellions Book Launch – LSE
‘Will you listen with me?’
Sonic Rebellions: Sound & Social Justice, edited by Wanda Canton - covers the use of soundscapes, rap, theatre, social media, protest, and song, in application to contemporary socio-political issues, such as gentrification, neoliberalism, criminalisation, democracy, and migrant rights. Sonic Rebellions looks to encourage readers to become, or consider how they are, Sonic Rebels themselves, by developing their own practices and reflections in tandem to continue the conversation as to how sound permeates our socio-political lives.
For this event, we will be joined by the editor and three of the book’s authors to discuss their contributions through storytelling and interactive offerings.
